The seven-story complex, which runs the length of a city block, was originally conceived as two separate residential projects on the same block. However, the design team\u2019s site analysis generated a more ambitious idea: purchase the remaining properties on the block, including historic structures, and greatly expand the program. And that\u2019s what the client did. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through the combined expertise of the firm\u2019s Large Scale Mixed-Use, Residential, and Interiors practices, Collection 14 marries residential development (market-rate and affordable units) with retail, office space, and a much-needed event space for the community. Its design and material palette blend historic and contemporary architecture as they celebrate the spirit and fabric of the neighborhood. Throughout the five-year process, the design team worked to comply with the city\u2019s guidelines for new construction and reuse of existing structures in a historic district. Soon after its opening in 2022, Collection 14 earned LEED Gold certification and a Charter Award from the Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group project-facts border-yellow is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8cf370e7 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p><strong>Collection 14, 1400 W Street NW,<\/strong> <strong>Washington, DC<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Program:<\/strong> 233 rental apartments (213 market-rate and 20 affordable units); 5,000 sf office space; 25,000 sf retail; 33,664&nbsp;sf parking; 2,000&nbsp;sf community space<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Size: <\/strong>235,000 sf<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Site:<\/strong> 0.85 acres<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Completion:<\/strong> 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Client: <\/strong>Madison Investments<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Project Team:<\/strong> Matthew Bell, principal in charge; Tim&nbsp;Bertschinger, senior project designer and project manager; Fawzia Ahmedali, project architect; Jeannine Muller, Austin Raimond, Matthew Miller, architectural designers; Kathleen Claire, Kristin Navarrete, interior designers; Tanya Eagle, Ryan Dirks, LEED coordinators; Michael Federici, specifications writer <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Consultants:<\/strong> Ehlert Bryan (structural); Interface Engineering (MEP); GEI Consultants (geotechnical); VIKA Capitol (civil and landscape); EHT Traceries (historic preservation); ARUP (code and accessibility); Seal Engineering (waterproofing); Setty &amp; Associates, Ltd.

It\u2019s one of the densest, most walkable, and vibrant neighborhoods in the city. Associate Principal Tim Bertschinger says the team was mindful of environmental and economic issues and equitable outcomes for those who had previously benefited from the services a local nonprofit had provided on the site. (Martha\u2019s Table sold its building to the developer and constructed a new headquarters elsewhere).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Bertschinger explains, the project includes a variety of spaces to support new retailers, provides employment opportunities similar to those previously on the site, and delivers a community event space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The building\u2019s wellness benefits include an energy-efficient ventilation system that provides constant fresh air; access to daylight and views; acoustic performance; and proximity to cultural and commercial resources and bus and metro lines.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column collection is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><span class=\"number\">3<\/span>\u201cInitially, the client came to us with a project idea that [involved] two small buildings, an apartment and a separate condo, on noncontiguous parcels on the block,\u201d Bertschinger says. Based on the design team\u2019s analysis of the site and assessment of city zoning regulations, the developer purchased additional properties on the block and created covenants to fashion a \u201cthrough lot,\u201d which allowed for additional height and floors and increased density. \u201cWe helped them work through the value and process to assemble the whole property into a far more

At the south end, the team carved out a mezzanine level for office space, thanks to a significant grade change across the site. A long horizontal volume, set back from the street, forms a \u201cbridge\u201d above a former auto repair garage, creating an indoor-outdoor rooftop event space below. \u201cCollection 14 skillfully modulates the height, mass, cadence, and articulation of its fa\u00e7ades to relate to the retained historic buildings on the site and to the surrounding U Street Historic District,\u201d says Steve Callcott, deputy preservation officer of the DC Office of Planning. \u201cIt is an excellent illustration of how a larger building can be successfully and compatibly introduced into a context of smaller structures.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the help of preservation specialists, EHT Traceries, the team uncovered elevation drawings (circa early 1900s) for two of the historic buildings retained on the site and used them to recreate the original storefront designs, which had been heavily modified in the 1980s.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group collection border-yellow is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8cf370e7 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p><span class=\"number\">6<\/span>Due to the massing strategy, there is no typical apartment floor plan. \u201cBy modularizing kitchen and bathroom designs, we were able to achieve the primary benefits of a repeating floor plan\u2014stacked mechanical, electrical, and plumbing\u2014without having to keep the same floor plate every floor,\u201d says Bertschinger.
